Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whe-
never the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very
cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and pull
out the plug, or remove or
unscrew the safety fuses.
3.
Leave the freezer compartment
door open.
4.
Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collec-
ting basin under it.
5.
Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6.
Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in the
power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may shor-
ten their safe storage life.
Switching off the appliance
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.
Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2.
Switch off the appliance by turning the temperature regulator to position "0".
3.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4.
Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning
